Chrisco 2010

Has anyone used Chrisco before?

How do you make the payments? C/C or debit from savings??

Which of the hampers/goods did you get or a contemplating getting for his year?

Is it worth it??

I know Maz gets it every year. My mum used to get it and swore by it - mostly for convenience because you don't save a lot of money by doing it that way as they have their administration fees and all that, but you could never complain about the quality of the food - nothing was out of date or near it's use by date. Mum used to pay via direct debit. She doesn't do it now because she doesn't need to anymore with us all but gone kwim?

My Ils get it every year...more as an enforced savings thing I'm pretty sure. So that they know they have it IYKWIM? I think they DDed it because it was easier and they don't use credit.

I have looked at it for the last few years, because I really liked the convenience of it, but because I need to always know I am getting the best deal and not wasting money, I 'costed' a couple of their hampers at the supermarket using all shelf prices (so no savings prices). The result was so different it was scary, so since then i have looked on wisfully....sigh.

where art thou Maz??

Might have to look into it a bit more. I know the kids will love it and i'm sure Dh would love the alcohol over the chrissy break.

Ive looked into it, and then i think if i just saved that money every week i could buy what i wanted at the end of the year...but it never happens...

Id really love to do it tho!
